The Plans outline the need for a Local Housing Program that includes a variety of for sale or rent units with various price points to support a year around community. The City Council had an interactive work session in September to discuss questions like: What do you think are the important characteristics of local housing? How might the City incentivize housing for locals? What are your priorities for the expenditure of housing incentives? Staff used the results of the work session, the housing strategy research and their expertise to draft a foundation for a McCall Local Housing Program. Since the 2019 City budget includes $150,000 for Local Housing, an Incentive Program for private development has been developed to encourage and create deed restricted local housing units in alignment with the adopted Housing Strategy. The September 17 Staff Memo and McCall Local Housing Program Outline are attached.  RECOMMENDED ACTION: Provide direction to staff on the Local Housing Incentive Program and to prepare a Resolution to formalize the Policy.
